Lufthansa is to take delivery in November of a Boeing 787-9 painted in a special colour scheme to mark the German flag-carrier’s centenary.
The twinjet (D-ABPU) has received the new livery at Boeing’s Charleston facility.
Lufthansa says the aircraft will enter service in December, ahead of the 2026 anniversary commemorations, and “act as a flying ambassador”.
The scheme features a blue fuselage with a full-length white representation of the airline’s crane logo.
Lufthansa says the design means the bird’s wings coincide with those of the 787, meaning the aircraft’s wings “virtually become the wings of the crane”.
The fuselage also carries the figure ‘100’ on the left and the dates ‘1926’ and ‘2026’ on the right. There is also a ‘100’ logo on the underside.
Lufthansa Airlines chief Jens Ritter says the livery “honours our identity” and “stands for a proud team of Lufthansa employees who give everything every day for the safety and well-being of our guests”.
As part of the anniversary plans, Lufthansa Group is displaying vintage aircraft from its heritage fleet.
